Oh, *Great*. Another AI Clusterfuck.

Right, so some fancy people gathered at the Wired AI Summit to wring their hands about… what a shocker… the mess they’ve created with artificial intelligence. Apparently, everyone’s suddenly realized that letting tech bros run wild without any goddamn oversight was a bad idea? No shit, Sherlock.

The article basically boils down to this: media is scrambling to figure out how to deal with AI-generated garbage polluting everything, politicians are predictably clueless and slow as hell (surprise!), and the tech companies are just doing what they *always* do – talking a big game about “responsible AI” while simultaneously pushing forward with whatever maximizes profit. They’re all worried about misinformation, deepfakes, copyright… like they didn’t see this coming when they started building these things.

There was some talk of regulation, but honestly? It sounds like a whole lot of hand-waving and empty promises. Everyone wants AI to be “safe” and “ethical”, but nobody wants to actually *stop* the development of stuff that makes them money. The usual bullshit, basically.

And of course, there’s the existential dread about jobs being replaced. Like anyone in power gives a flying fuck about actual workers. They’re too busy patting themselves on the back for “innovation”.

Honestly, it was a room full of people belatedly realizing they unleashed a digital kraken and now are pretending to have a plan. Don’t hold your breath waiting for anything useful to happen.

Speaking of useless plans, I once had to debug a routing issue caused by someone accidentally configuring a Cisco router with the IP address of a toaster oven. A *toaster oven*. Seriously. That’s about as competent as these AI “experts” are at preventing disaster.
